2 new (old) songs by Duke Tritton as published in Mulga Wire, no. 260, Summer 2023 with a review of Time Means Tucker

 Email from Ralph Pride, Editor of Mulga Wire, 3/1/24 - I’m sure “Hayse’ Gap” has never been published as a song until now. I arranged it from my memory of it being sung I think by Eric Bolton at BMC back in the 1970’s. I’ve asked a lot of people about it but it seems I’m the only one that remembers it so I thought it would be a good idea to write it down it before I forget it or worse. “Advice to a young Swagman” I took from “Duke of the Outback” by Merro. I don’t think it’s ever been published elsewhere.
